Nancy-Jo, These members weren't Indians. Anyone could join. Indians don't name something or someone after a deceased Indian. Anyway, Randy has a great book with lots of information but remember it was written by white men.

I have a Privately Printed book published in 1920 and written by Alvin G. Weeks of Fall River, Ma. who was "Past Great Sachem of The Improved Order of Red Men of Massachusetts and President of The Massasoit Memorial Association". I will add a few notations from the book that may interest you, but I cant do all of the 270 pages. The begining starts; To The MEMORY OF MASSASOIT Great Sachem of the Wampanoag Indians, 1620-1661, who, by his friendly disposition towards the whites, and his faithful observance of his treaty obligations to them, has earned the undying gratitude of humanity, this work is respectfuly dedicated. Henry VIII of England, in consequence of a quarrel with the Pope and Cardinals concerning the dissolution of his marriage to Catherine of Aragon, had established the Church of England as an independandt acclesiastical body; and still later John Calvin, a Frenchman, born in the year that Henry ascended the throne of England, promulgated the Geneva Creed. All these things had set the leaven of religious liberty into a ferment which nearly blew the lid off the mixing pan; and creeds without number sprang up................ it was this that drove Roger Williams from Salem to seek refuge first with Massasoit at Sowams, and later with the Narragansetts at the place which devoutly named Providence; that sent Gorton from Plymouth to the same Narragansett country; and John Easton and a multitude of other Quakers from the Massachusetts Bay colony to Rhode Island and other places. Names mentioned......Canonicus of the Narragansetts; sachem Miantonomo; Miss Elizabeth B. Champlin, a direct descendant of the old Ninigret tibe of Indians which was so prominent in Souther, Rhode Island; King Philip's war......The great blow to the permanent success of this work was struck by the unfortunate and general war which broke out under the indomitable sachem called Metacom, better known as King Philip. He drew all but the Christian converts and the Mohigans into this scheme. Back in the early 16oo's Sir Ferdinando Gorges, who was at that time the commander of the Port of Plymout, England sent, or came to the New England coast on trading expositions. At one time, on Martha's Vinyard several Indians were captured and taken back to England. Capawack, Coneconam, Epenow and Sakaweston Samoset came from Monhegan which was one of the Elizabeth Islands. He was given English beer which the Indians reffered to as "Stron Water' and also "Fire Water". At Kingston, R.I. during the swamp fight, the whites set fire to every habitable hut or tepee and burned hundreds of women and children. When the Indians approached Providence in 1676, Roger Williams went out alone to meet them to try to disuade them from their purpose of attacking a town.He was 77 years of age. "Massachusetts', said he, can raise thousands of men at this moment, and if you kill them the king of England will supply their places as fast as they fall." "Let them come" replied the savages, "we are ready". But as for you, Brother Williams, you are a good man. Massasoit was born 1580-------and Died 1661. Approximately September 13, 1655 Nine Chiefs went to Plymouth to arrange a modus vivendi OHQUAMEHUD ..........Wampanooag OBBITINUA ..........Obbatinewat, sachem of the Massachusetts and subject to Massasoit NATTAWAHUNT ....probably Natawanute or Attawanhut of Connecticut CAUNBITANT....Sachem of Pocaset CHICATAUBUT ...of the Massachusetts QUADENQUINA ...Massasoit's younger brother HUTTAMOIDEN.....??

The stones are from Union Cem, Niantic, CT Barb ************************************** Get a sneak peek of the all-new AOL at http://discover.aol.com/memed/aolcom30tour

These stones are for 1. Philip Occuish, center of stone with dates is missing. 2. "Sarah Occuish wife of Philip Occuish who died 16 April 1767 in her 67th year", epitaph below grade level. and 3. Lucia 7 Aug 1796. All stones have Indian headresses around the effigy on the tympanum. Lucia is a traditional tritop but the stones for Philip and Sarah are a different shape than any stone I have seen to date, sort of a variation on a tritop.
